My pup chow lab mix (14 years old) wears a seat belt in the car. I don't get mad, but I feel sorry for the animals that I see that have to ride in the beds of trucks. What gets me pissed it the little dogs on the drivers lap, as they drive. Not only is that not safe for the dog, but it could cause a wreck. Since all my rides have the option to go topless, and I do worry about the bugs hitting her eyes, I have thought about goggles. http://www.amazon.com/DOGGLES-ILS-Sunglasses-Protection-Shatterproof/dp/B000FS07EQ
